I went to the Sprocket's Film Festival which was pretty fun. The Sprocket's Film Festival is a place our Cyber Arts group goes every year to check out some up and coming film designers and there films. They had around 10 or so short films that where all different in there own special way.
Out of all of the short films, there is one in particular I enjoyed the most. The film I enjoyed the most I think was called Animal. They had this small ball thing pulling it's self off of a twig. It finally pulled it's self off and landed next to a dead animal. It then got scared and ran away. Then got eaten (-_-). The reason I like this film comes up next. The animal that just ate it dies and then within it's belly you see the creature grow and turn red. It burst out of the animal and after a couple of seconds, plops out another animal just like before, and you are to presume the cycle continues. I like it because I thought it was going to be obvious, and then it was unexpected but still foreseeable, and then went completely unexpected. When the creature was transforming in the animals belly, I thought it was just going to get bigger and get eaten by a larger animal. Instead and it turned into a plant, and before I could say to my self "oh I was wrong" I had the creature plop out of the plant (which I didn't expect either).
After all the short films, they played this full film called "U". It was French and "U" was the name of this unicorn that was like a friend with this princess (all the characters where animals). The film was done in a cartoon animated version but the difference with this compared to normal animated cartoons is that it had a slight sexual undertone to it. The movie was based of relationships and the relationships where more intimate then an normal animation. The one thing you have to know about me is I am pretty prudent and kind of feel sexual undertones from things other people probably wouldn't feel from. They still had French kissing and people lying on top of each other and dirty references. This is the major difference between Hollywood animations and Non- Hollywood animations, they are more "free".
Warning!!! Spoilers / Ranting
I hate the ending!!! This bloody thing ends with U disappearing to nothing and her friend forgetting about her in a matter of seconds. I wish I could have timed it so I could tell you how short it was. And what's worse is that they tried to fix the ending by having U stay because one of the characters "loved" her. . . . . "AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh" are my exact words. Don't even try and fix the ending, I hate you! When characters disappear with no meaning or no acceptance I hate it (unless that is suppose to be the meaning of the story). That's all I can yell right now. See you when I'm less angry.
